This paper describes the use of the Processing programming language to introduce basic programming concepts in an introductory computer science course. Processing is a simplified java-based programming language and development environment designed for use by designers and artists with minimal, if any, programming experience. The environment allows for rapid prototyping of algorithms within a visual context. The students use a "software sketchbook" and production tool to manipulate images, animation, and other visual interactions. This paper makes some observations and reviews student comments in the use of the Processing language.
